Breakdown of the Einstein-Stokes relation in undercooled liquids is one of the unsolved problems in the theory of liquids. The self-diffusion coefficient follows the temperature dependence of the Einstein-Stokes equation ...

The glassy state and the character of the liquid-glass transition from undercooled liquid to amorphous solid is one of the biggest challenges of our time. In spite of significant progress we still cannot explain accurately ...

Small molecule sorption and desorption in and out of polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels were studied at various temperatures. Pyranine (P(y)) dissolved in water used as a probe. Fluorescence emission intensity, I(p) from P(y) was ...

Glass transition has been one of the biggest challenges in condensed matter physics during the last century: in spite of significant progress we still cannot explain the sudden solidification of undercooled liquids on the ...

A novel technique based on in situ steady state fluorescence (SSF) measurements is introduced for studying drying and swelling Of kappa(-) carrageenan (kappa carrageenan) gels at various temperatures. kappa(-) carrageenan ...

An expression for the velocity u of migration of a diffuse simple crystal-melt interface has been derived on the basis of the theory of atomic mobility in supercooled liquids: u = K-0 (T / T-m) DeltaT, where DeltaT = T-m ...
